A member of the Clinton campaign joined in shaming an NBC reporter after he wrote about Hillary Clinton’s embarrassing coughing attack in Cleveland Monday, with left-wing bloggers and a former White House speechwriter also mocking his writeup of a public event.

“Dear Andrew, Get a life. Thanks. Nick,” wrote Nick Merrill, the traveling press secretary for Hillary Clinton, linking to a comment from journalist Jonathan Alter insisting that the story “ain’t news.”

In response, Merrill’s followers taunted the NBC reporter saying that he should be embarrassed to call himself a journalist, suggesting he was paid by Donald Trump and urged him to “delete your network.”

The article was linked on the Drudge Report’s banner, sending a flood of readers to the NBC News website.

Obama’s former speechwriter Jon Favreau was also outraged at NBC News.
